Steam boiler for food industry is used in the process of distillation, sterilization, disinfect, extraction, drying, and curing, packing, etc. The boiler should be clean and environmental protection, so, it is better to use the clean energy as the fuel, such as natural gas, biomass fuel, and electricity.
Compared with other fuel, gas fuel boiler has the advantages of low pollution, it uses fuel channel, storage room is unnecessary, save land usage and low infrastructure cost.
Biomass fuel is a new type clean energy with low cost. The source of solid biomass fired boiler fuel is widespread, it could be wood chips, bamboo chips, straw, rice hull, peanut shell, bagasse, mustard stalk, cotton stalk, cotton seeds, coconut shell, corncob, waste cloth, etc.
How to Select a Proper Boiler for Food & Beverage Industry
1. Determine the capacity of the boiler. The boiler capacity should be based on the Heating Load Curve or Heat Balance Diagram, and includes the heat loss in pipelines, self-used heat of boiler room, available used waste heat. While, usually, it is difficult to get the Heating Load Curve, the heating load could get based on the max thermal consumption per hour within production/heating/domestic, and then determine by using the coefficient.
2. Determine the boiler heating parameters, including pressure, temperature, etc.
3. Determine the boiler efficiency. In order to benefit for economic management, the boilers should have high thermal efficiency, and the boiler output, quantity and other performances have to adapt to the change of heat loading.
4. It is better to select the boilers with same capacity or combustion equipment. If different, the max limitation is two models, to decrease the problems of equipment layout and management.
